Getting all ready...

Well "Nikki Sivils" headquarters is definitely hopping these days... we can almost smell the sent of CHA getting closer everyday!! I'm so excited and can hardly wait to show off my new collections!!

Dan and I are going to do it again.... DRIVE to CHA in Chicago! You'd think after our experience last summer driving to Orlando FL pulling a trailer of product and being car sick all 14 hours there and the 14 hours back home that we'd never do it again. Well we are!! But this time its only a 9 hour drive and no pulling a trailer now that we have a crate that ships to the convention center. The hardest part for me right now is leaving my 22 month old German Shepherd! For those of you that don't know we got a beautiful male German Shepherd (GSD), Nico is his name and I just hate leaving him now that we have FINALLY established that we are his pack! (This takes a while to accomplish, GSD don't take to people quickly.) But we've found him a great trainer that we love and she is going to keep him while we are gone. We also have a wonderful couple that will be staying in our home and taking care of our other fur-babies so I have nothing to worry about... but I know I will! :)

Here is a picture of my new man... Nico!

I was talking to Stephanie Hunt (owner & designer of Bella Blvd, go check out her awesome reveals for CHA) this morning on the phone and she wanted to know where all my CHA sneak peeks are for "Nikki Sivils"?? Soooo.... that got me thinking that I do need to show some more peeks for my 6 new CHA releases... so here is the entire collection of "My Friend Birdie" which is named and designed for my Best Friend Jill Warden, aka "Birdie" (she has bird legs)!!

First of all: what a handsome young man you've got there beside you! He looks so strong and soooo sweet! He's quite large, isn't he? Nico..hehe...great name for a dog ;)

The bird papers look awesome. Really hope I'm able to buy them this time, as it's still very hard to find a shop that sells your stuff here in the Netherlands. Don't know what they can't see, because again I am very exited by seeing this new papers.

I love the entire collection!! In fact I bought it at Scrapbook Generation.....probably the same day that you had the picture taken of you and your new baby!! We even discussed how cute that shirt is!! But seriously....I love the birds!! They are definitely my favorite so far!

This line is SO adorable!! I love them all, but the die cut is definitely to die-for! And I really adore that one with the tree and the birdies on it too - so cute!! Awesome, awesome job Nikki, as always!

Oh my, I love them all! And I am an avid 6x6 pad collector, so I will take one of those please ;) Such a sweet line of birdies! I cannot wait to see what else you'll have! Have a safe trip and good luck with CHA!

Oh my gosh I have to say this one is my favorite! Those birdies are adorable!!!!!! And how exciting to have those cardstock stickers. A perfect addition. Can't wait to see this all in person and hopefully meet you at CHA!

Nik, I love, love, love every bit of it!! You are amazing! I am beyond honored by this line! You mean the world to me! And yes I do have birdlegs, but my fanny is not that big...is it??? Good luck at CHA and I hope this line is your biggest hit EVER!! I love you and can't wait to see you next weekend!
